Markets where you can't leave your house without getting swarmed are super appealing to some players and a nightmare to others. And the biggest factor in Edmonton and Buffalo being at the bottom of the list is how bad those teams have been over the course of the last decade. Canadian fans are clearly the best for their love of their teams. That would be fun to play in. Montreal is the best. Toronto would be next, but the city is a hole. Edmonton has the great fans, and history of winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then those great fans aren't so great to be around. Being on a bad team in a Canadian market doesn't sound very appealing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SabreFan1 Posted January 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2020 1 hour ago, GhostsOf1994 said: But... but...but.. Sabresfan1 says buffalo is fantastic and very lovely. Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian and now Evan Rodriguez. Must be issues with those guys and the great nightlife and beautiful women and booze and travel and.... I ran out of excuses, buffalo sucks. but... but... but... you're a jackass who is speaking out of his hind quarters. It has nothing to do with Buffalo as a city. (For the record east and west Buffalo are sh*tholes where residents cry "gentrification" if you try to make things better.) Bogosian and Rodrigues haven't been used on the ice and both of their contracts are expiring. That's why they want out. It's even worse for Rodriguez because unlike Bogosian he has been healthy. These guys aren't being utilized on a bad team. What are the chances the better teams in the league will want to sign them to decent contracts next season if they stay in the Sabres' press box watching the games? I'm a native, but if I played for the Sabres and my next multi-million dollar contract was in jeopardy, I'd be hollering at the top of my lungs that I want out and I wouldn't be as nice as Bogosian and Rodrigues are. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why the easterners who can afford it, retire out here. I doubt those with the means retire in .bufallo. Nobody retires in the Northeast. You'd be a moron to. There's a reason why NFL games that the Bills play in Carolina and Florida have so many Buffalo fans at them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 54 minutes ago, Bitter Melon said: Winnipeg, Detroit, St Louis etc are by most metrics a worse place to live than Buffalo, and we aren't seeing a mass amount of players requesting trades from there. I still think there's something in the water there hasn't been addressed. Let's not jump to blaming the city. It's because Ralph Krueger makes no bones about it when he has no use for you. He just sticks you in the press box. That's a death knell for players like Bogosian and Rodrigues. A team desperate for defence next year will take a chance on a low dollar contract for Bogoosian, but Rodrigues was only originally brought into the NHL by the Sabres because he was Jack Eichel's wingman at University. If Rodrigues doesn't get out of the press box and back on the ice, his NHL career is headed for either the toilet or the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Maybe its because I'm not old (yet) but I'd honestly rather live somewhere cold like Buffalo than somewhere that gets blisteringly hot like Miami or Scottsdale. I can't stand the heat. Thats part of the reason I like BC so much, yes it doesn't get as cold as the rest of the country, but it doesn't get as hot either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Ok solid defence of Buffalo the city. I was kidding in the OP, thought it apparent. Your contributions are appreciated Sabrefan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 47 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: So a guy who went undrafted and has zero goals this year is demanding a trade. Why not just send him to the minors where he belongs? The Sabres need cheap forwards, but with Rodrigues constantly in the press box anyways, I'm surprised that they even bother keeping him up as the extra forward. I think the Sabres recently promoting a guy from the AHL to the NHL over him is what made Rodrigues' agent finally speak out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention when the Kings, Rangers, or Islanders suck, nobody rides or hounds the players about it. They just get ignored while everyone watches one of the other professional sports teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
